I'd strongly recommend Lustre. It will work perfectly well from a
single server node and give much higher bandwidths than NFS. If you
have two nic's you can also serve up the file system over both and see
around 150MB/s total bandwidth.
Also, if you need more storage in the future, you can just add more
servers... and get linear scaling of bandwidth.

Hi,
I have a small (16 dual xeon machines) cluster. We are going to add
an additional machine which is only going to serve a big filesystem via
a gigabit interface.
Does anybody knows what is better for a cluster of this size, exporting the
filesystem via NFS or use another alternative such as a cluster filesystem
like GFS or OCFS?
Thanks in advance
